You may have problems finding some online church records for Oxfordshire as I think familysearch (Church of the Latter Day Saints) were refused permission to film them.  I believe someone now has the contract to digitise them.

Burial from same source.

3 Nov 1844 - Thomas Wixon, aged 28 of Kingston. @ Aston Rowant.

EDIT: Thomas Wixon was baptised 8th Oct 1815 @ Aston Rowant,  Son of Richard & Elizabeth Wixon, of Kingston.

If you have further problems going further back, you may need to consider the surname of RIXON.

Ok just to put my self at rest Thomas Died In 1844 ?? his son William was baptised in the same year ? ;) I Might have been chasing the right wixons after all If Thomas passed it Left jane to re-marry

From 1861 piece 1843 Fo 24 - Kingston Blount
Village
John Wixon H M 34 Ag Lab born Aston
Jane Wixon W M 39 Lace maker born Tetsworth
William Wixon S 18 Ag Lab born Kingston
Mary Wixon D 6 born Kingston
Fanny Wixon D 2 born Kingston
-- Wixon D under 1m born Kingston

I did wonder why John wixon was such a young dad ??

what you think there are 2 parts to this story ;)
Jane marrys another wixon and john takes william as his son ;)
